How Can Allergic Swelling In The Eyes Be Treated?

Hi
Thanks for posing on HCM
I will suggest you clean your eyes well with clean water and continue with benedryl. You may see a professional for an eye wash with saline or dacryoserum if feeling of particles in your eyes.You should also avoid irritants like dust and smoke now.The problem will go away progressively.
If it persist, you see an Ophthalmologist for examination to eliminate other causes like infection.
Hope this will help
Regards
